More people voted D than R (Senate)

[Zero Gravitas]

Someone just mentioned to me that more people voted for the 45 Dem Senators than did for th 55 Republican/Fascist/Theocrat Senators. Can anyone confirm this? I'm not surprised given that tiny population states like Alaska get the same number of Senators as New York or California.

Something to remember the next time a freeper starts going off about Bush's so-called "Man Date" !

1. I heard yesterday that the 45 Democratic Senators represent more

people then the 55 Republican Senators. Which makes the margin in the house seem strange but then a lot of people split their tickets.

3. I pulled this off MyDD yesterday

As of 2004, Democratic senatorial candidates received more popular votes than did Republicans.

Total Two-Party Votes: 189,334,976 (unofficial)
Democratic Candidates: 94,965,901 (50.16% of the two-party vote)
Republican Candidates: 94,369,075 (49.84% of the two-party vote)

5. The FORTY-FOUR Democratic Senators represent 50.73% of the nation.

Jeffords is another 0.11%


The 15 Democratic Senators just elected represent 51.8% of the electorate voting for Senators in this General Election, while the 19 Republican Senators represent 48.2%. (That only counts the 34 states in which a Senator was elected this time.)

6. Do you mean

over the last 6 years, i.e., the full Senate cycle, or only in 2004? Measuring in any one election year is difficult, as you have differing numbers (by party) of incumbents and retirees.

7. I believe it's over the last 6-year cycle
